"There hasn't been a clock or a watch yet that we haven't been able to fix," says John. "Repairing and restoring clocks is our only business, not a hobby. Number one, we care about taking care of our customers and their clocks."

Recently The Clock Doc relocated to a new location at 3534 34th St., just west of Indiana Avenue. With the expanded location, which houses a few clocks on sale by consignment, they also added a variety of new equipment to expand their ability fabricate parts for clocks and watches. They maintain a large inventory of repair parts, including motors for electric clock repairs. And all repair work is done in-house at The Clock Doc, in a secure facility.

The Clock Doc offers free estimates in their shop and offers competitive pricing on repair work. John and the staff, including his sons Rami and Ramzi, work on all timepieces, from huge tower clocks to the smallest ladies' wristwatch. The Clock Doc can even make "house calls" in and around Lubbock to repair clocks that are too large to transport.

If you have a clock, watch, timepiece or even a music box that needs repairs or cleanings, call The Clock Doc. John likes to remind customers that "the bitterness of bad workmanship outlasts the sweetness of cheap prices." The Clock Doc's price may not be the cheapest, but they guarantee all work will be done right. All repairs carry a 1-year unconditional guarantee.
